The album ‘Oculus’ is Julie Cooper’s second to be released on the Signum Classics label. It is an eye into the world of colour in music, from the Italian Renaissance through to present day.

Inspired by the talent of the artists recording the tracks, by paintings, dances and architecture of the Italian Renaissance and the vividly descriptive colours the Oculus Ensemble’s conductor Jessica Cottis sees when conducting in certain keys through her synaesthesia.

Julie Cooper’s music is broadcast extensively on screen for film, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and 5, and all visual media and advertising worldwide. She has scored multiple cinematic orchestral and chamber albums for television drama, wildlife documentaries and film, along with numerous drama commissions for theatre, BBC Radio Drama and the concert platform.

Her album, ‘Haunted By The Secret’, on Universal’s Chappell Noir label, won Best Score Production Music Track in The Production Music Awards with her track ‘Game Of Trust’.
